The strengthening of the Russian Federation and China in Africa does not suit the West very much. This is due to the fact that Beijing and Moscow offer economic and financial cooperation to the continent. This is reported by the Prime edition, referring to the American magazine Foreign Policy.
The American magazine clarifies that African countries reacted with optimism to the emergence of China. It is known that some states were left to fend for themselves or received “meager handouts” in the form of loans from the World Bank or the IMF.
“But they did not behave irrationally or hopelessly naive, and did not forget about their national interests, contrary to the assertions of the West, which warned of the danger of the Chinese debt trap,” the newspaper notes.
African countries have come to the logical conclusion that Western countries are not able to provide them with security, and some Western proposals are completely absurd. For example, the military ties of Paris with former colonies in the Sahel region, as well as attempts by the United States to establish military training in individual countries.
“Rather than asking Western journalists about Africa about China and Russia, they should be more skeptical about the partnerships their own countries and the West in general are offering Africa. We must stop pretending that the West is cooperating with the African continent, which has the fastest growing population on the planet, in full accordance with its needs and significance for the future of our world,” the author of the article summed up.
